The hijab controversy involving Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has now taken a strong celebrity turn, with Rakhi Sawant openly slamming the CM in a viral video.

However, her tone soon turned emotional and angry as she questioned his action. Rakhi said that calling a Muslim woman on stage to honour her and then touching her hijab was completely wrong.
She clearly stated that in Islam, a woman’s naqab or hijab should not be touched by anyone. Rakhi said Nitish Kumar, being such a senior and experienced leader, should have known this basic thing. She repeatedly asked, “Nitish ji, yeh aapne kya kar diya?” showing her shock and disappointment.
Nitish Kumar Hijab Controversy Sparks Apology Demand
In her video, Rakhi Sawant used strong words to explain how humiliating the moment was for the woman doctor. She gave an example, saying how it would feel if someone publicly pulled Nitish Kumar’s clothes in front of everyone. According to her, respect for women cannot be selective.
Rakhi also said that she respects Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, but she will not tolerate disrespect towards women, especially when it involves religious clothing like the burqa. She demanded that Nitish Kumar should publicly apologise to the woman, call the media, and say sorry to her by calling her “behan.”
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister’s Office clarified that appointment letters were given to 685 Ayurveda doctors, 393 homoeopaths, and 205 Unani practitioners. Only 10 doctors received letters directly from Nitish Kumar, while the rest were appointed online.
Despite this clarification, the focus remains on the viral video and Rakhi Sawant’s sharp reaction, which continues to dominate social media discussions around the Nitish Kumar hijab controversy.
